Only costs marked per person are multiplied. Shared costs stay unchanged.

Step 3

EUR 102 if first application lodged abroad; EUR 70 if lodged at an administrative unit; residence card cost listed as EUR 15.47 by current SPOT guidance, while EU portal still lists EUR 12 in its 2025 page.

How to read these figures

A cost page is only worth anything if you know which parts of it are firm.

Fees are firm, everything else is a range
A government fee has one published price, and it is linked to the schedule it came from. Flights, agents and settling in are quoted as ranges because that is honestly all anyone can quote.
The rupee figure is today's rate
Converted at the live mid-market rate, which is not the rate your bank will give you. Budget a few percent above what you see here, and re-check the day you pay.
This is the move, not the year
Tuition, rent after the first month and everyday living are not in these totals. They live on the Study and Life tabs, where they are broken down properly.
